[CM] What is the "normal" way to handle errors for side effect functions in Scheme?

[Iain Duncan]

Thanks Bill, much appreciated. for the next release with the table and
buffer i/o I'm going to retool various functions to do that and to return
the value being passed through so that they are consistent with how things
like vector-set! and vector->list work.

thanks for the tips!
